Ties of the Heart

Bysuzanne klotz

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The paintings in this book were inspired by my personal investigations into the writings of the major religions. Although the social teachings of each religion change in accordance with an ever advancing world society, the spiritual messages remain the same. The kinship between the spiritual teachings of each religion reflects the oneness of religion, oneness of humanity and oneness of God. I began creating this book in 1991, it is now 2012. I initially thought it would be a relatively simple task to select similar writings from diverse religions that spoke to the content of each of my paintings. Yet, each attempt at finishing this book required starting from scratch; re-reading the Qur’an, Dhammapda, Holy Scriptures, Bhagavad Gita, and Bahá’i Writings. With each new reading I gradually familiarized myself with the “voice” of each Messenger–Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, and Bahá'u'lláh–and in so doing, the content of the messages and the intent in the words gradually took on new meaning.
